If you want pausable combat and a logistics focus, the Hearts of Iron games might be interesting to you. They’re pseudo-real-time in that things happen on an counter that ticks forward once per in-game hour of the day (so the results of two units fighting, a diplomatic message being sent, construction on a building), but you can speed up, slow down, or pause however you wish. If you want to zip along at a few seconds of real time per day in game, cool. Want to slow things down to a few seconds per in game hour instead? Also fine. Need to pause while you read a description? Also fine.

Seconding Space Marine 2. It’s built for three-player co-op, crossplay works smoothly, and it’s a super satisfying shooter

Classic ChatGPT there, forgetting two letters and adding in two that weren’t there before

I’m pretty sure comparing this spike to the spike from when he actually did drop out is exactly what they intended to do. They’re showing that even though this spike exists relative to recent weeks, it’s small compared to the number of people who were relatively on the ball.

This is actually a Lord of the Rings shitpost and it turns out that Bree, Eriador has a thriving cheesemaking industry

Outer Wilds (and Echoes of the Eye) technically qualifies with the community’s rules, but I think the answer more in keeping with the spirit of things is Shadow of the Colossus. The Opened Way is the most “fighting a building-sized monster as a normal guy but still winning” piece of music I have heard

So you’ve become a “Great King,” have you? But why do you still continue to speak about “friendship” and about coming to Mt. Ammana?.. For what reason should I call you “friend”?..Do those who are not on familiar terms with each other call each other “friend”? Why then should I call you “friend”? Were you and I born of neighbours? As my grandfather and my father did not call the King of Assyria “friend,” you should not keep writing to me (about) “coming” and “Great King-ship.” It displeases me.

Roux is definitely a tough one. At least the ingredients are fairly cheap if you do mess it up, but damn you better be prepared to put in the work, endure the heat, and watch closely if you want to get it right. Damn tasty though.

I kinda want to start describing sensible people as “hinged” now

You can usually remove predicted words if this starts happening. On mine, it’s done by pressing and holding the prediction, then confirming. If you use the name Scott regularly anyway, it’ll re-learn it without the incorrect association

Not all instances/clients show those display names. I’m on kbin.earth and it doesn’t, I just see the underlying account name. It sounds like you’re seeing the same. But if I go look at Wheelchar’s profile on lemmy.world, which is their instance, it shows both “WheelchairArtist” and “@WheelcharArtist”

Stein and Oliver both do, though that’s certainly not going to make a difference in their actual chances

It was wild re-reading all that back when Russia launched its “special military operation”. One of the last things Trump did in office was attempt to extort and/or weaken the country Putin was gearing up to invade again

I don’t know what the actual terminology here is. The display name is “WheelchairArtist” but the underlying account name - the one that shows up in the URL if you go to their profile - is missing the i. I have no idea if that’s a typo on account creation or something intentional.

She’s no Goldmask though. I want to get me a man that can T-pose on reality until he figures out how to prove god wrong

Pope played Elden Ring and fell head over heels for Ranni

but she’s ackchyually 2,000 years old

There are ways to mitigate this. Scotland and Wales use a system that’s basically FPTP with compensation. It’s not perfectly proportional and some of the elected representatives are from a party list rather than being voted on individually, but the individual ones are picked first and it’s proportional enough that voting for smaller parties isn’t a waste of time

Germany is usually at least in the top fifteen of that list, if not in the top ten. It’s not as big as the US, but the disparity is substantially smaller than between the US and Denmark

I would be quite interested to see how they would rank the EU. Not an average of the EU countries, a score for the actual EU itself

I believe that the main reason for people as wealthy as him to own newspapers is not the money, it’s the influence. This does hurt that
